Ọpụpụ 32
1 Mgbe ndị mmadụ ahụ hụrụ na Mosis anọọla ọdụ ịrịdata site nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị, ha zukọtara, bịakwute Erọn, sị ya, “Bilie, meere anyị chi ndị ga-edu anyị, nʼihi na nwoke a bụ Mosis onye dupụtara anyị site nʼala Ijipt, anyị amaghị ihe mere ya.”
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people combined against Aaron, and said to him, Arise and make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what is become of him.
2 Erọn zara sị ha, “Yipụtanụ ọlantị ọlaedo ndị nwunye unu, na ụmụ unu ndị ikom na ndị inyom yi. Wetara m ha.”
And Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives and daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Ngwangwa, ha niile yipụrụ ọlantị ha weta ha nye Erọn.
And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 Ọ naara ya nʼaka ha, were ngwa ọrụ e ji egbunye akara, kpụtara ha arụsị nwa oke ehi. Mgbe ahụ, ha kwuru sị, “Ndị Izrel, ndị a bụ chi unu, nke sitere nʼala Ijipt dupụta unu.”
And he received them at their hands, and formed them with a graving tool; and he made them a molten calf, and said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
5 Mgbe Erọn hụrụ na ụmụ Izrel jupụtara nʼobi aṅụrị, nʼihi ihe ahụ ọ kpụrụ, o wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼihu nwa ehi ahụ ọ kpụrụ, kwuo okwu sị, “Echi, a ga-enwe oke mmemme nye Onyenwe anyị!”
And Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord.
6 Ya mere na echi ya, ha biliri nʼoge, bido ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ, na aja udo, nye nwa ehi ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ. Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ha nọdụrụ ala iri ihe na ịṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ, biliekwa ọtọ gwurie egwu ime onwe ha obi ụtọ.
And having risen early on the morrow, he offered whole burnt offerings, and offered a peace-offering; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7 Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Gbada ọsịịsọ, nʼihi na ndị gị, ndị i dupụtara site nʼIjipt emerụọla onwe ha.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed;
8 Nʼotu ntabi anya a, ha ahapụla ụzọ m niile. Ha akpụọlara onwe ha arụsị nwa oke ehi, nke ha na-efe ofufe, nke ha chụkwaara aja nye. Ha kwukwara sị, ‘Ndị Izrel, ndị a bụ chi unu, nke dupụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt.’”
they have quickly gone out of the way which you commanded; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said,
9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Ahụla m na ndị a bụ ndị isiike, na ndị na-enupu isi.
These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
10 Ugbu a, hapụ m ka iwe m bịakwasị ha, ka m laa ha nʼiyi. Aga m eme ka gị onwe gị bụ Mosis bụrụ mba ukwu nʼọnọdụ ha.”
And now let me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them, and I will make you a great nation.
11 Ma Mosis rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya arịrịọ sị ya, “Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị gịnị mere iwe gị ji dị ọkụ otu a nʼebe ndị gị nọ bụ ndị nke i ji ike ebube gị, na ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama dị ịtụnanya, dupụta site nʼala Ijipt?
And Moses prayed before the Lord God, and said, Therefore, O Lord, are you very angry with your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great strength, and with your high arm?
12 Nʼihi gịnị ka ndị Ijipt ga-ekwu sị, ‘Ọ bụghị ime ha ihe ọjọọ ka o ji dupụta ha, ka o nwee ike gbuo ha nʼugwu ndị a, ma kpochapụkwa ha site nʼelu ụwa a?’ Site nʼiwe gị dị ọkụ chigharịa, kwere ka ọ dajụọ. Chigharịakwaa site nʼatụmatụ ọjọọ a nʼebe ndị gị nọ.
[Take heed] lest at any time the Egyptians speak, saying, With evil intent he brought them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from off the earth; cease from your wrathful anger, and be merciful to the sin of your people,
13 Cheta nkwa ahụ i kwere ndị ohu gị bụ Ebraham, Aịzik, na Izrel. Nʼihi na i ji onwe gị ṅụọ iyi nye ha sị, ‘Aga m eme ka mkpụrụ gị mụbaa dịka kpakpando nke eluigwe. Aga m enye ha ala m kwere ụmụ ụmụ gị na nkwa ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’”
remembering Abraam and Isaac and Jacob your servants, to whom you have sworn by yourself, and have spoken to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this land which you spoke of to give to them, so that they shall possess it for ever.
14 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gbanwere obi ya. Ọ lakwaghị ha nʼiyi.
And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis tụgharịrị site nʼugwu ahụ rịdata, mbadamba nkume abụọ nke iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị ya nʼaka. E dere ha ihe nʼihu abụọ, nʼihu nakwa nʼazụ.
And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tables of testimony were in his hands, tables of stone written on both their sides: they were written within and without.
16 Mbadamba nkume ndị ahụ bụ akaọrụ Chineke, ihe e dere nʼelu ha bụ ihe Chineke nʼonwe ya dekwasịrị nʼelu mbadamba nkume ndị ahụ.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables.
17 Mgbe Joshua nụrụ ụzụ si na ndịda ugwu ahụ, nke ụmụ Izrel niile na-eme, ọ gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Ụzụ agha dị nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu.”
And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 Ma Mosis zara sị, “Mba, nke a abụghị ụzụ ndị meriri nʼagha, maọbụ ụzụ ndị e meriri nʼagha, kama ọ bụ olu abụ ka m na-anụ.”
And [Moses] says, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor the voice of them that begin [the cry] of defeat, but the voice of them that begin [the banquet] of wine do I hear.
19 Mgbe Mosis bịaruru nso ebe ahụ ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha, hụ nwa oke ehi ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ na egwu a na-ete, iwe were ya nke ukwuu. Ọ tụpụrụ mbadamba nkume ndị ahụ o ji nʼaka. Kụrie ha na ndịda ugwu ahụ.
And when he drew near to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke them to pieces under the mountain.
20 Mosis weere nwa oke ehi ahụ ha kpụrụ akpụ, kpọọ ya ọkụ. Mgbe ahụ, o gweriri ya dịka ntụ. Fesaa ya nʼelu mmiri mee ka ụmụ Izrel ṅụọ mmiri ahụ.
And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it.
21 Ọ gwara Erọn okwu sị, “Gịnị ka ndị a mere gị i ji bute ụdị mmehie ọjọọ dị otu a tụkwasị ha nʼisi?”
And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to you, that you have brought upon them a great sin?
22 “Erọn zara sị ya, ka iwe gị ghara ịdị ọkụ, onyenwe m. Gị onwe gị maara ndị a, mata otu ha si bụrụ ndị ọjọọ.
And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for you know the impetuosity of this people.
23 Ha sịrị m, ‘Meere anyị chi ndị ga-edu anyị, nʼihi na nwoke a bụ Mosis onye dupụtara anyị site nʼala Ijipt, anyị amaghị ihe mere ya.’
For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.
24 Asịrị m ha, ‘Onye ọbụla nke nwere ihe ịchọ ọma ọlaedo, ya yipu ya.’ Mgbe ahụ, ha wetara m ọlaedo ndị a, nke m tụbara nʼime ọkụ. Ihe si na ya pụta bụ nwa ehi a kpụrụ akpụ!”
And I said to them, If any one has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 Mosis hụrụ na omume ndị a jọgbuziri onwe ya na njọ nʼihi na Erọn mere ka isi kopu ha. Nke mere ka ha bụrụzia ihe ọchị nʼebe ndị iro ha dị.
And when Moses saw that the people was scattered, —for Aaron [had] scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies, —
26 O guzoro nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu ahụ kwuo sị, “Onye ọbụla dịnyeere Onyenwe anyị ya bịakwute m.” Ndị Livayị niile bịakwutere ya.
then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him.
27 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ha, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel kwuru, ‘Nwoke ọbụla nyara mma agha ya nʼakụkụ ya, jegharịa nʼetiti ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ụmụ Izrel, site nʼotu isi ruo nʼisi nke ọzọ. Ya gbuo ọbụladị nwanne ya nwoke, maọbụ enyi ya, maọbụ onye agbataobi ya.’”
And he says to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and kill every one his brother, and every one his neighbor, and every one him that is nearest to him.
28 Ndị Livayị mezuru ihe Mosis gwara ha. Ya mere ndị nwụrụ nʼụbọchị ahụ dị puku mmadụ atọ.
And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the [number of] three thousand men.
29 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gwara ndị Livayị okwu sị, “Taa, unu ekewapụtala onwe unu nye Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na unu gburu ụmụ unu ndị ikom na ụmụnne unu ndị ikom. Ugbu a, ọ gọziela unu taa.”
And Moses said to them, You have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you.
30 Nʼechi ya, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel okwu sị ha, “Unu emeela mmehie dị ukwuu megide Onyenwe anyị. Ma aga m alaghachikwuru Onyenwe anyị nʼelu ugwu ahụ rịọọ ya. Ma eleghị anya, aga m arịọta maka ikpuchi mmehie unu.”
And it came to pass after the morrow [had begun], that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I may make atonement for your sin.
31 Ya mere, Mosis jekwuuru Onyenwe anyị sị ya, “Biko Onyenwe anyị, ndị a emeela mmehie dị ukwuu megide gị, nʼihi na ha akpụọlara onwe ha chi ọlaedo.
And Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods.
32 Ma ugbu a, biko, gbaghara mmehie ha. Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị agbaghara ha, biko hichapụ aha m site nʼakwụkwọ ahụ i dere.”
And now if you will forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of your book, which you have written.
33 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị Mosis, “Onye ọbụla mehiere megide m ka a ga-ehichapụ aha ya site nʼakwụkwọ m.
And the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot them out of my book.
34 Ma ugbu a, duru ndị a gaa ebe ahụ m gwara gị. Mmụọ ozi m ga-edu unu nʼije a. Ma otu ọ dị, mgbe m bịara ileta ndị a, aga m ata ha ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ha.”
And now go, descend, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke to you: behold, my angel shall go before your face; and in the day when I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin.
35 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọrịa dị egwu bịakwasị ha, nʼihi ihe ha ji nwa ehi ahụ, bụ nke Erọn kpụrụ mee.
And the Lord struck the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.
